good point!!!! summer off plus 5 weeks during the year
if i had my life to live over.... a teacher has the best life
Hmmm... Work 4 months, get 4 weeks paid baby....sm
vaction - quite a sweet deal ... while the rest of us are struggling with monumentous premiums (financing a newbie's love/sex life not my idea of fair play). Many of us haven't gotten a single day of PTO, (thanks to the line requirement to meet when there is no/low work) and most of have been here much longer than 4 months.
I left them after a few weeks..sm
The staff is great and pay is on time every other Wednesday..the co. is very fair. I hated the platform that I was on..MedType (DOS-run)...I don't know about rad. Some accounts use MedRite. If they had a decent platform..I'd still be with them.
He left weeks ago for another job
and the new HR person has already started. Since previous was there for a long time this is just one of those things I guess, move up the ladder at another company. No ill will, but that was about a month ago.
I left after only 2 weeks
because I could see that I would not be able to make any money there. They probably won't fire you if you work is okay but you should be looking elsewhere if you want to be able to earn a living.
I just left there 3 weeks ago and was making

I had an atrocious ESL acct with them. Left after a few weeks. nm

I was there 12 years, left 3 weeks ago. Many are leaving. (nm)

Platform and support so bad, I left after few weeks.

I worked for them recently for a few weeks and left because of SM
low/no work. No hard feelings.
It took a little over 2 weeks, but I called the recrutier twice and left a message. nm.
Hmmm...I had a good friend who had that
And things got worse from there. She finally had to quit. Can't help wondering if it's the same company. The woman she had contact with (not sure if it was the owner) was very coarse and always acted like she had too many things to do to worry about stuff like payroll. In fact, they didn't even send out a W2 form until my friend asked for it.
It was a totally chaotic situation.
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm

Hmmm! Not a good sign! Thanks for your input. Will probably pass it up! no msg

I saw this posted some time ago and thought then, hmmm, not a good idea
You were outraged and it was very apparent as you spoke then of they knew who you were and you really spoke your mind. I know we are supposed to have freedom of speech but having said this it was like you did not care if someone came after you and now, well seems like that has happened. I am not saying it is right but sometimes good to keep thoughts to yourself, especially now since you have heard from the state. You said you are flattered. I would never been flattered to have someone sue me. Seems like you bit off more than you can chew.
Join the club, I quit a few weeks ago. Good luck...nm

Good point.
I agree with you. What you do is between you and your manager. If you can type like the wind (and maintain quality) you deserve to reap the rewards.
The day someone tells you to slow down because someone else isn't getting enough lines, well, then I don't think we'd be living in a democratic country any longer, but rather under some other regime's rule.
Good point!
Good point.

Yes, good point!

Very good point!
There are sooooo many TT posts on here that all of the other posts get buried underneath them, and at least half of them probably never get seen or answered. I am so glad that I don't work at TT!
Good point!!! LOL
Good point. Thank you. NM
Goldbird
Yes, that's a good point, but that is
the exception, not the rule.
That's a good point
That's very true! But, now I feel horrible, because there are people with no work and lots of people waiting for work, and I would be an additional transcriptionist, causing there to be less work for the day shift! I know you all love the place those of you at TT, that is why I thought I'd wait a while so when things calm down, perhaps I can reapply...
LOL ... good point.

good point
coco about them seeing it. Mine, however, sometimes becomes distorted and into computer speak rendering it unreadable when I paste it. I'm sure that gets thrown away quickly.
Good point. So what is up with that?
Are people losing their jobs and thus insurance and so canceled their elective surgeries? Or are they so worried about job loss/insecurity that they put off treatment or going to the doctor? Whaddya think?
You have a good point.
Like I said in my last post - I was having a pity party. I apologize for that statement.
good point
Never thought to ask. I shouldn't have said it seems unfair...bad choice of words. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Very good point!! nm

That's a really good point....
Who, exactly, are women flaunting their body to? I find it so bizarre the way some women feel this need to flaunt themselves to strange men. What good comes from flaunting yourself to random men? It makes no sense. A women is like a pearl. The most beautiful part is on the inside. Why not save your best for your man/your family? Why not cover yourself and be respected for your intellect, your personality? I can really see why so many women in this country have issues with body image. The reason is that we have placed so much emphasis on this...on the outside.
Also, just an FYI, the black dress worn in Saudi is called abaya. Generally, a headscarf is referred to as hijab in Arabic; however, hijab is not only a headscarf, it is the way you carry yourself, your attitude. The verse in Quran prescribing hijab for women is also followed by a direction for men, as well. There are, believe it or not, quite a lot of women who wear a headscarf who are not Muslim (or Christian or Jewish). Here is a youtube video of one such woman describing why she wears it -- it's quite interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0SsYD2yRsk
Good point! Horrible mgt.
They speak out of both sides of their mouths.
You made a very good point.
As patients, we need to be more proactive with our medical records by asking to inspect them every now and then. I have a close friend who was an independent contractor that tried to get health insurance on her own and was denied by several different companies. She finally found out that there was a diagnosis of cancer made in one of her medical records that was made in error. She finally found out that her doctor never proofread his reports and it was transcribed on one of documents, but she had to jump through hoops by providing all sorts of documentation to prove she didn't have cancer. It took investigation by the insurance companies to bring this mistake to light, but just imagine the mistakes that are not caught because of our medical records not being regularly examined. I think we, as PAYING clients of these physicians, should start demanding more accountability and accuracy in our records.
From the point I found out about my friend's problem I've been asking to see my medical records at least twice a year. My family does the same. Maybe it's time we start spreading the word.
You make a good point..
You know what, you're right. An experienced GOOD MT will hit the ground running and not need their hand held. I'm sure an experienced, good MT is worth their weight in gold and SHOULD be paid more. There should be a way to do that, and if all those companies out there that are crying because they can't get experienced MTs would compensate in a way that is perceived as more fair, people would be beating a path to their door. The only thing that bothers me is the assumption that all MTs with many years experience are good at what they do. I've seen with my own eyes that this is not the case. Some of them don't seem to even know proper English usage. Why should that person be paid more just because they've put in X number of years? I guess it just reminds me too much of the labor union seniority systems that protect and reward the mediocre. I didn't mean to offend anyone with my post above; just wanted to give another perspective. If I were sitting where you are, I'd probably feel the same way. The MT profession has been eroding for years, and it's got to be tough on those who were part of the good old days of being an MT when they felt reasonably rewarded for their expertise.
This is a really good point. First impressions mean a lot.
Mine of Keystrokes is not a good one.
Good point about attrition below
I have never run out of work at TT. Hmmm, could it be because I work instead of sitting on the boards complaining while I'm *waiting* for work to come in. Adjust your hours, stop playing on the message board, and be willing to type whatever comes your way - all work types. They sure aren't going to take work away from someone who is busting her butt for a minimum of 8 hours, producing a lot of high quality work, and give it to somebody who *checks in* when she's not complaining on the board. So maybe it is a form of attrition after all. I'm not a manager pretending to be an employee either.
TT is the best company EVER, and every single blasted day it's the same 2 or 3 people hogging this board and griping about low work. Good grief, get a life!
You make a ver good Point.
The stuff that I have read was from 2 years ago, alot can happen in two years time. Every company has something wrong with it in someone's opinion. I just saw a lot of bad remakrs about it. Maybe it will be more of a positive experience for me.
You make a good point
You were able to get some recogniton because the doctor knew who YOU were and the quality that you put out. That doesn't exist much anymore. I think THE major factor contributing to the decline of the MT profession is depersonalization. As employees of MTSOs, we are no longer individuals, but part of a big MT machine that cranks out dictation. The true consumer of the MT product, the doctor, has no contact whatsoever with the person who transcribes the report. That means that there is no recognition for the excellent MT; they are mixed in with all the substandard MTs and the doctor never knows who is typing the report. He gets back good, he gets back bad, and everything in between. Basically, the only reward we get these days is our own pride in doing a good job. Unfortunately, that doesn't pay the bills.
You make a good point -
I think you're spot on ~ each of us has different needs and different capabilities. Some companies get bashed just because they weren't a perfect fit for someone and some companies are really are validly not so good to work for.
I've been with SoftScript for nearly 7 months and I have nothing bad to say. I had about 12 years experience and a few years away - things in this business changed drastically during that time. Softscript gave me a really fair go. I worked for Medquist before for many years and did a short period of time with Spheris, but went back to Australia. I was doing VRE with them ~ that was weird, but not their fault.
Some people can't be satisfied with anything ~ I'm happy knowing I have a job and the people are really nice.
Just my dollar's worth (2 cents doesn't go anywhere anymore)
good point! Problem is along sm
with that now some of the smaller companies are getting very cocky and are following quickly in the big MTSO footsteps!
Laughter is good to a point, but nothing here
nm
Good point! What I found when I sm
was looking for a job was exactly as you say. They list every specialty under the sun and want to know how many years you have done that particular type of MT.
If you have acute care experience for many years (the big 4 and ERs) you really don't have difficulty landing a job. It is very easy for experienced MTs to land a job and right now I don't see age as having a bearing on it at all!
Good point, Miffed. sm
Sorry, you are probably right about that. Hope a lot of coworkers took the coming week off.
Thank you! You proved my point: Good ios better than bad...nm
nm
good point, keep MTing
at least some, and you can still take those tax deductions as well as keep your skills up.
Those that left on good terms. nm
xx
Those that left on good terms..What?
Why would you mail them anything? What do you mean?
not that I can see. I am like you, any good jobs left?
Curious
You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
